From the confessions of the perpetrators, said Indra, the marijuana will be circulated among students and college students. This drug transaction, he said, had been going on many times until he was finally caught by the officers.
"The results of our interrogation, the goods were obtained from them buying them online on their Instagram accounts, from Sumatra Island they were sent using expedition services in Makassar," he said.
The modus operandi is that perpetrator F, who is related to I, jointly buys marijuana and cannabis seeds through an Instagram social media account. Furthermore, after the goods are received from the expedition service, then they are distributed to students and students.
While the actor R is the user. But sometimes he becomes a courier, after receiving goods from the two brothers. The team then conducted an investigation into the Instagram account, in order to dismantle the narcotics distribution network.
